It looks like Lord of the Rings games are back on the menu. Aspyr has today launched The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition, an improved version of Snowblind’s 2011 original, while casually mentioning that more older games based on The Lord of the Rings are set for a re-release through Warner …
Just like the recent Psyvariar 3 and Truxton Extreme, MOSS’ 2013 shoot’em up Caladrius is about to gain a long time coming sequel. Caladrius 2/Dark Element is set in a dark gothic world – with a focus on elegance and madness – and sees new illustrators bring the cast of unique characters to life. The ‘Shame Break’ …
Usually we’re against early reveals, but Blaze’s decision to tease Evercade DOOM way back in February made a lot of sense. Not only did it generate a buzz, along with healthy speculation, but it also confirmed that Blaze are actively seeking big name IPs. It always helps ease fan’s minds knowing that there’s something big …
A new release that eluded our latest new release round-up is Changeable Guardian ESTIQUE. As it was only officially announced today (Monday), I think we can be excused. This horizontal shooter made its debut as a modern NES/Famicom release at the end of 2024, and is now set to grace Steam, PS5, Xbox Series …
While we would have liked to have seen a remaster of either Argonaut’s Buck Bumble or Red Dog: Superior Firepower next, it makes sense that a remaster of Croc 2 is on the cards. Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos restores a subtitle dropped during development, and is being given the same visual makeover …
Rhythm action Roguelite Alpha Nomos will be bringing its unique brand of beat-synced combat to PS5 and Xbox Series shortly after the PC version launches. Set in a world where time and space have collapsed, you play as the clownish Cello and must fight a band of corrupted puppets throughout abandoned cities and a corrupted …
No, Pro Jank Footy isn’t about to arrive casually late to the World Cup party. It’s based on Australian Rules Football, a different sport entirely. No really. Also known as Footy, Australian Rules Football sees 18 players compete, often on a modified cricket ground. Handballing is fine, and there’s a bunch of other rules that …
Another day, another solo developed project. I guess if you want something done right, you must do it yourself. That said, Agent 64: Spies Never Die is born out of one man’s passion for Rare’s 007 GoldenEye and Perfect Dark – it’s very much something they were keen to create. Featuring a low poly look, …
Spooky platformer Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares is set to launch on Xbox Series, Xbox One, PC, and Switch just in time for Halloween. The Switch version is a last-minute addition to the launch day (30th Oct) rollout. Our titular hero happens to be a jester, while the game itself is inspired by ‘90s …
Blaze’s line of Evercade-compatible Super Pocket handhelds must be performing well, as they’ve just announced a new model – bringing the current total up to eight. The Super Pocket Activision Edition sees a price hike to £59.99. It does however feature 34 games – a far higher amount than usual. It has a bespoke paint job …
The NeoGeo collections are proving popular for the Evercade, so it makes sense that Blaze are keeping that momentum going with Visco Arcade 1 and Visco Arcade 2, licensed from Pixel Heart. The connection here is that later Visco releases ran on NeoGeo hardware. “Visco’s catalogue is packed with hidden gems and arcade favourites that …
We always envisioned Hamster launching Arcade Archives 2 Tekken to celebrate a milestone. Somewhat surprisingly, it’s out tomorrow – meaning it’s about to go head-to-head with Dead or Alive 6 Last Round on the digital services. Curious timing indeed, although we can’t grumble too much considering Tekken is much requested. This is the arcade version …
After being delegated to party games and kart racers, Garfield is about to star in a new 3D platformer; one that sounds rather similar to the recent Bubsy 4D, if only due to the ability to roll into a ball. Well, that and having a feline star. Garfield – Escape from Monday is in development at …
A new publisher has entered the fray. TRAILMARK Games is so new that it seems the company hasn’t even established a website yet, meaning we have no clue where they’re based. They’re out to make a name for themselves with The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival – a pixel art scrolling brawler based on the …
We finally have a release date for the Amiga horizontal shooter revival Apidya’ Special, and there isn’t long to wait: it’s out on 25 August on all formats. Pre-orders are live, and plans have been made for two physical releases. Developed by Team Apidya and published by ININ Games, the insect-themed Apidya’ Special isn’t an …
